“The new Lara Croft works out some kinks in a second act that, while slick and enjoyable, doesn’t resolve Tomb Raider’s identity crisis.”

9/10

“Rise of the Tomb Raider’s first shot pans over the vast, foreboding landscape we’ll soon come to know. In many ways, it functions as a promise on the part of Crystal Dynamics: there are big things ahead of us. And at the end of Lara’s journey, after we’ve seen her through this adventure, and experienced everything the world has to offer, it’s clear that promise was kept.”
